Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 66

We step out into the backyard and the only thing stopping me from wobbling in my high heels is Aiden's steady arm beneath mine.

The evening breeze sends shivers down my spine, and my skin breaks out into goosebumps. People are talking around us, drinking and having appetizers.

Some of them wave at Aiden. Most of the people here are their friends and family. He only waves back at them and doesn't try to start any conversation.

Twinkling lights are strung through the trees, casting a soft light over the crowd. Everything is picture-perfect. Far too perfect for the storm of nerves swirling in my chest.

My stomach is a mess, my nerves flying erratically inside of me.

My eyes scan the space, taking in the faces of people I don't recognize until they land on Zaid.

He's standing near the edge of the crowd, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit that fits him like a glove. His hair is styled just enough to be called neat, though a strand falls rebelliously across his forehead. The sharp lines of his jaw and the depth of his dark eyes make him look impossibly handsome.

Too handsome.

I feel a wave of heat rush through me, making me hyper-aware of the fabric of my dress, the way it clings to me, the daring slit that exposes my thigh with every step.

And the fact that I'm not wearing any underwear.

Fuck. I rub my legs together, but that does little to help the unease between them. Zaid tilts his head at me like he knows and, for a second, I feel like both of us are thinking about last night.

About how he watches me come on his brother's cock.

I shift uncomfortably, a flush creeping up my neck as I try to push the thought

away. Aiden glances down at me, his brow furrowing slightly.
